These reports are based on the total number of QRcode, Datamatrix and UPC/EAN scans recorded by the i-nigma system during the relevant periods. Because of i-nigma’s worldwide prominence, we believe that these numbers are likely to be indicative of global mobile barcode activity
The reports do not include activity in Japan, which is known to be well ahead in popularity and usage of mobile barcodes
For better representation of global open market trends, the reports specifically exclude activity from i-nigma-based solutions that are used by our vertical customers
